Mr and Mrs Chuck

I've known there must be two groundhogs (or woodchucks if you prefer) living next to the creek at work, but this is the first time I've seen them together. Kind of adorable, aren't they?

I, too, call the woodchucks at my house, collectively, "Chuck". I, too, have only ever seen one adult individual at a time. I've never seen a pair, and never any young, though there must have been some — the one can't have lived for 20 years so far.
